I flipped two virtual coins (of the type Constatius II - Silver Siliqua - Roman Empire) at random.org to determine the order of #s 2 and 3. Maybe I'm Amazed won both times.

And now I'll have to go lie down in a cool, dark room.

The love is there ... you just can't see it, it's in the 13 songs leftover, all tangled up. :(

I tried to vote a certain way ... not necessarily just for the songs I love, but also for songs that represent something for me about the 70's. I've got slots and categories for these songs in my head. It's the only way I could do it.

3. My Sharona ~ The Knack

4. Paradise By The Dashboard Light ~ Meatloaf
